Water Facts
Did you know that our bodies are made up of 65% water.
Our world's surface is two-thirds covered in water.
There would be no life on Earth if we did not have water.
Life first started in water.
Water is made up of a mixture of Hydrogen and Oxygen.
The chemical name for water is H(2)O - which reprsents two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom.
Water takes on three different forms:
1.) Solid - frost , snow, ice.
2.) Liquid - rain, lakes, oceans, streams, ponds and rivers.
3.) Gas - water vapour.Temperature changes water's three forms:
1.) Heat - in very hot climates the sun causes water to evaporate and change into vapour.
2.) Cool - when the weather cools down, it causes the vapour to turn into rain.
3.) Cold - in very cold conditions, the water freezes and changes into a solid.
